This is probably just a case of Gundy telling Yurich “look, I want to get you a pay raise, but we have to show the board that there’s a competing offer out there to get it passed. Do what I do every single year when I need a pay raise. Talk to Tennessee. Bippity, boppity, I’m a man, ::makes fart noise with his lips::”

I am at the point where it doesnt matter who calls the plays if we dont get the players in here. This guy can probably do just fine if we take care of the above. Still worry about the OL moving forward. Looking to sign a great class, but not sure what we have from a coaching/development standpoint.

He's been successful everywhere he's been. If the rumors of "philosophical differences" with Briles were accurate, I'm not sure why Pruitt thinks Yurcich is going to be less philosophically different, but maybe he just doesn't mind Will Friend. Either way, I would have zero problem with this hire in isolation. In context, there are so many factors that most of us aren't privy to that I can't really make a fair assessment.

Damn... I don’t want to be down on a dude I really don’t know anything about but this just feels like we got snubbed by everyone we really wanted (plus a few we didn’t) and ended up with whatever we could get.

As usual.

Pruitt went all in on Freeze. Freeze's background brought up things that made him untouchable so Freeze goes to Liberty instead of Bama/UT/FSU. The search restarts.
